  • 5/5 from Yvonne Maclean, attended Jan 2026: Tania was a great teacher, my child learned so much having fun with the other kids getting creative, immersing in clay subtly learning great hand building techniques and all about the glazes they then used … “she was fun, funny and kind mum and she knew everything about clay”. The studio space was welcoming and so interesting with the examples of work, the clear space to come together to learn and make in, and the back ground studio area of multiple kilns. The hour and a half went by quickly, but was just perfect. It was a truly great school holiday fine arts experience for my 10 year old - highly recommended, and we’ll be back with friends next time! Thank you Tania.
